PAPER SCULPTURE SHOW INVITATION - Version 2 copy

Reach You With My Mind (Oil on plywood-irregular pentagon shape, 45.5cm x 71.8cm, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Reach You With My Mind A

This painting looks like as if it has been photographed close-up style with a ‘wide angle macro’ lens. But it’s not. This is what the painting actually looks like when photographed from a straight-on position. The irregular pentagon shape is

Bench (Reclaimed fir with construction plywood and coloured plywood inlay, oil stain and wax, 43.3cm high, 136.5cm long, 52cm deep, Dirk Marwig 2016)

Bench A

Ever since I’ve stopped smoking I’ve been making more ‘practical’ or ‘useful’ things than ever before within a short time-span (chairs, lamps and now out of all things a “bench”) -I don’t know if this is good (it certainly is

A piece from 2013: La Gloriosa or “Glorious, Decaying Empire” (Douglas Fir, wood glue, wood oil, 227.5cm x 28cm x 18cm, Dirk Marwig 2013)

La Gloriosa

*This was a big slice of Douglas Fir which first I turned into a perfect rectangular “block”. The newly created “block” had the “Golden Rectangle” shape or the ‘divine proportions/dimensions’. Then I wildly started to cut the block apart ,

Ski-tvelt Chair (Old skis with hardwood, dimensions similar to my other “Rietvelt” chair versions, Dirk Marwig 1997)

Ski-tvelt 2 pics

This “Rietvelt Zig Zag Chair” version was made from old skis that a neighbour in Madrid gave to me. My gallery was the ‘Nikolaus Fischer’ Gallery so the ski chair with the “Fischer”skis made sense! You could actually sit on
